|
I never said that I would give you silver or gold |
|
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold |
|
But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone |
|
(Hmm) |
|
And I did say, don't make this world your home |
|
I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night |
|
Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight |
|
But I did say I'd be right there by your side |
|
And I did say I'll always help you fight |
|
'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep |
|
My grace will be sufficient in every time of need |
|
And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto |
|
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you |
|
I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you |
|
Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool |
|
But I did say like me you'll surely be despised |
|
And I did say my ways confound the wise |
|
I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death |
|
Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest |
|
But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side |
|
(Yeah, yeah) |
|
And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry |
|
'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place |
|
And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face |
|
And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude |
|
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you |
|
So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right |
|
And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light |
|
That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through |
|
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you |
